Dr Iva Bimpli

Profile

I joined the SRI in 2018 as a Lecturer in Business and Sustainable Societies, and prior to this role I held various teaching and module leading roles in Business in a number of Russel Group universities accross the North of England. My PhD focused on ethical decision making in marketing when considering the interactions of various stakeholders involved in marketing research. My wider research interests and focus are on consumer and organisational behaviour around ethics and sustainability issues when working with companies, consumer and organisations. I am also interested in the role of emotional processing in ethical decision making in the marketplace (with particular interest on ethical consumption), when investigated through neurophysiological methods and techniques.

I hold a Teaching and Scholarship Lectureship and I use my position to make as much positive impact as I can through teaching, research and industry engagement.

I have been a Programme Leader for the BA Environment & Business for the period 2017-2020.
